    True Rear Coilover Reinforcement

    Does anyone have any photos of the reinforcements necessary to run true coilovers in the rear?

    The rear Koni's on my ground control kit are leaking and I may have them rebuilt into true coilovers. The car is getting a cage and I can take care of any reinforcements at this time.

    Just tie the rear shock towers into the cage.

              see this thread: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...hlight=e30+ast

              he's running 400 rear on true coilovers, and he's got the backing to play around with rates.
